Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates distinguished by hair, mammary glands, and three middle-ear bones. They range from tiny shrews to massive whales, playing vital roles in ecosystems as pollinators, predators, and seed dispersers.

This diverse class includes humans themselves, making their study essential for conservation and understanding our own biology.
